They are particularly interested in the research which would focus on the Denver <br />Basin bedrock aquifers in the eastern portion ot the baSin. Up till now most of the information <br />concerning the aquifers has been obtained on the western side of the basin where the sediments are . <br />more coarse-grained. Obtaining information further east would allow for detennination of the <br />amount of water in storage in those aquifers wilh much more certainty. This would be information <br />which could help considerably in the administration of the aquifers. <br /> <br />It is the understanding of the Commission that the core hole is to be initially constructed as <br />a monitoring hole and that there are ongoing discussions both with the Town of Kiowa and Elbert <br />County as to the possibility of using the core hole as a pilot hole fora water well. . It is alsO the <br />Commissions understanding that if the hole is to ultimately be used as a 'water well, a permit will <br />. be obtained and the construcrion will be in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of <br />the Colorado Ground Water Commission and state statutes. Should this not happen, the hole will <br />be properly abandoned. <br /> <br />Therefore, the Commission wishes to el\press its support of the proposal. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />,eb~ J?~ <br />Hal D.
